An Yun Su's humble dream of a happy family life is destroyed when her husband is murdered. She struggles to prove her innocence in his mysterious death.

The fateful encounter between these two women has its own repercussions, and two men relentlessly pursue the truth: Baek Dong Hun, a conscientious prosecutor who never loses his composure, and Jang Jeong-Gu, Yun Su's lawyer and a former boxer who packs a punch in each and every case.
